All in One Office - Web Search Extension

Posted: February 7, 2018

The All in One Office - Web Search Extension by Axel Division LP is a browser extension available for Google Chrome. As stated by its official website, the purpose of this add-on is to provide users with access to the entire toolset of the office software, which can enable them to edit spreadsheets, documents and various other file formats. While this might sound handy, the All in One Office - Web Search Extension's installation can't be completed without allowing this program to apply changes to the Chrome's default configuration. Although the changes in question are not unsafe, some users are likely to find them unenjoyable since their purpose is to replace the Chrome's default new tab page and search aggregator.

The All in One Office - Web Search Extension is likely to be promoted with the help of advertisements, which users might come across while browsing various websites. Naturally, these ads will advertise the extension's features, but they might exaggerate its capabilities seriously. While the All in One Office - Web Search Extension is somewhat useful, the toolset it offers is hosted on 3rd-party websites and services, which can be accessed without installing the 'All in One Office' software. Users who opt to install this add-on and grant it the permissions it requests should be prepared to get used to the fact that their new tab page and search aggregator will be replaced by Search.allinoneoffice.net.

Users who are not bothered by the changes that this add-on brings are welcomed to keep on using it. However, if you are not a fan of All in One Office, then it is better to remove it either manually or with the assistance of a suitable PC security utility.
